Improve Your Skills

The FUNDAMENTALS CLINIC is on Tuesday mornings at 8:15 AM. This clinic is for rowers who have completed the Bay Rower program at OWRC and want to continue to improve their basic skills and techniques. It is also a great way to refresh your skills if you haven’t been on the water in a while. Class size is limited to 5. You can book here.
